I appreciate all the input. I'll keep tinkering I'll let you know what I find. Any more input is welcome.
reading the plugs isn't going to tell you squat about whether it is too rich or lean during this problem. It won't tell you squat unless done under specific circumstances, with fresh plugs.

I am guessing it is too lean during this problem. You can cover it up with the accel pump(s) or go up a jet size on the primary side. Try that and see if it gets better or worse. You can only theorize about what the problem is for so long before you have to try something and see what happens. better/worse/same, then take that off the list and try the next thing on the list.
